For readers of The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet (David Mitchell) and The Glass Palace (Amitav Ghosh) - a sweeping historical novel following the children of Francis Light from Penang to war in Europe and across the British Empire, culminating in the extraordinary life of William Light and the founding of Adelaide.

As a new century dawns, Francis Light's family is scattered, its inheritance in jeopardy.

The family of Francis Light faces an uncertain future. As Penang heads inexorably towards colonial rule, Martinha struggles to claim her rightful inheritance, encountering corruption, prejudice and heartbreak in equal measure. Scattered across the world, her children are forced to negotiate the British establishment alone as best they can with little but their father's name and reputation to sustain them. From Britain to the Peninsular War, from the social pretensions of Bengal to the court of the Pasha of Egypt, from Java in the company of Raffles to the new city of Adelaide in Australia, the next generation makes its way, its roots firmly planted in the beautiful island of its home. Volume 4 in the Penang Chronicles.
